    Solo Episode: Moving from ChatGPT to Claude, My AI Setup Explained

    In this solo episode, I’m taking you inside my real-time transfer from ChatGPT to Claude. I’m breaking down why Claude is having such a major moment, what’s changing in the AI platform landscape, and how I’m thinking about rebuilding my own AI setup with more intention.I also walk through the basics of what all these new AI workspace terms actually mean, including Claude Projects, Skills, Connectors, Plugins, Claude Code, Cowork, slash commands, and tasks.This episode is not about saying one tool is good and the other is bad. It’s about understanding the bigger evolution happening across AI platforms. I also share my current setup approach, including how I’m cleaning up ChatGPT memory and projects, deciding what context matters, creating new Claude Projects, building brand voice guidelines, adding Skills slowly, testing simple Tasks, and avoiding the temptation to overbuild too early.This episode is for founders, creators, marketers, podcasters, and AI-curious professionals whose ChatGPT or Claude workspace is starting to feel messy, and who are realizing the real unlock is not just better prompts, but better setup. Helpful resources mentioned:Anthropic Academy: https://anthropic.skilljar.comClaude prompt library and use cases: https://claude.com/resources/use-casesThe Complete Guide to Building Skills for Claude: https://www.anthropic.comSearch tip: Google “awesome Claude skills GitHub” to explore free libraries of pre-built Claude skills.Ready to cut through the AI overwhelm?Explore all my resources in one place → https://stan.store/BRXSTUDIO Free AI Guide • 45-Minute AI Jumpstart • AI Community • How I AI Companion GPTAnd if you’re a brand, event, or platform interested in sponsoring season two or collaborating around conference coverage, moderation, or thoughtful storytelling at the intersection of business, technology, and culture, I’d love to connect.More About Brooke:Website: brookex.comLinkedIn: Brooke GramerMore About the Podcast:Instagram: howiai.podcastWebsite: howiaipodcast.com"How I AI" is a concept and podcast series created and produced by Brooke Gramer of EmpowerFlow Strategies LLC.

    Season One Reflections: What I Learned About AI, Entrepreneurship, and What's Next

    I’m taking a moment to reflect on what season one of the show has revealed to me, not just about AI, but about work, business, reinvention, and the kinds of conversations people are truly hungry for right now.In this solo episode, I’m sharing a few reflections from season one, some of the patterns I’ve been noticing, and a look at where the show is headed next as I begin shaping season two.I also talk about what’s coming up next, including my coverage from Wellist Forum and eMerge Americas here in Miami, and why those two worlds feel like the perfect bridge into the next chapter of the show.After a full season of interviews, one thing has become really clear: the strongest conversations were never about tools for the sake of tools. They were about what people are building, how they are thinking, and how work itself is changing. From CTOs of unicorn companies to student builders, this season showed me just how wide the doorway into AI really is and how many people are using this moment to rethink the way they create, earn, lead, and build.If you’ve been listening and want to help me shape season two, I’d love your input.Help shape season two: https://990zp3e5kgz.typeform.com/to/nFFrCyPOReady to cut through the AI overwhelm?Explore all my resources in one place → https://stan.store/BRXSTUDIOFree AI Guide • 45-Minute AI Jumpstart • AI Community • How I AI Companion GPTAnd if you’re a brand, event, or platform interested in sponsoring season two or collaborating around conference coverage, moderation, or thoughtful storytelling at the intersection of business, technology, and culture, I’d love to connect.More About Brooke:Website: brookex.comLinkedIn: Brooke GramerMore About the Podcast:Instagram: howiai.podcastWebsite: howiaipodcast.com"How I AI" is a concept and podcast series created and produced by Brooke Gramer of EmpowerFlow Strategies LLC.
